Oh Dina!

2 weekends ago, I had the pleasure of attending the Toronto Clothing Show, where I stumbled upon a Canadian designer that designed the most delightful hair pieces. called "Oh Dina!".





I know Oh Dina! is working on a website but in the mean time go and visit the facebook page to see pictures and pictures of this vintage looking hair pieces. You too will fall in love just like I did! I swear!

Oh and the price I paid...$25.00. What a Steal!

Frankie is gone....but is still in the swing dancers hearts

On May 2nd the great Frankie Manning was laid to rest, in a "lavender coffin" send off. Music and dancing and friends all around.

He will be missed but I will be forever grateful for bringing Lindy Hop to this world and into my life. It has changed me in so many ways, positive ways and I want to carry on Frankies legacy thru my dancing.

Thank you Frankie for being in this world, you will be missed BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN!
